Handguard recommendation for suppressor?

PSA Products AR-9

I have the following kit (which has proven to be an EXCELLENT trainer for my kids):

The handguard doesn’t quite fit over my Obsidian 9, so we’'d like to swap the handguard with one that will be able to accommodate the can.

Any recommendations?

I have an Obsidian 9 myself, and did a lot of research on it. I settled on a Strike Industries Strike rail. It has an I.D. of 1.5" and can accommodate a can tucked inside. I have a 4" barrel with a 7" rail. Make sure you get the tri-lug adaptor for both the barrel and can. I use the Rugged adaptor for the can and a Hansohn Brothers for the barrel.

Other rail choices: Samson Evo, Midwest Industries, Seekins MCSR, Griffen Armament, and the DD MFR XL.

Edit: inleadwetrust also makes a tri lug flash can that will fit under a rail for when not using the suppressor.

Here is my AR-V with the SI rail and Obsidian 9:

Thanks. This is extremely helpful.

I already have a Rugged 3-lug. Indeed, I have a few, but they’re all 1/2x28 of course. I assumed the barrel in PSA build kit I have was 1/2x28, but apparently it’s 1/2x36 for some reason, so I’ll need an adapter.

Get one from Hansohn Brothers. They guarantee fit, and are cheaper as well.

I second Guitar Guy’s advice. If Hansohn Bros. has the part you need, it will be cheaper and their stuff is top notch.
